A New Jersey woman might pay a higher price than the $80,000 price tag on a 2009 Land Rover that she allegedly coveted in March at a Chester County dealership, police said yesterday.
Sharise Weldon, 33, of Irvington, is in Chester County Prison after failing to post $50,000 cash bail on theft charges. Westtown-East Goshen Police Detective William Cahill said Weldon and an unknown female expressed interest in the vehicle right before the Westtown Township Land Rover dealership closed. They then created a distraction and switched keys, taking the Range Rover Sport SUV an hour later, he said.
Cahill said Newark police stopped the stolen vehicle with Weldon at the wheel on May 17, and detained her after determining she had a warrant in Chester County. She waived extradition yesterday. - Kathleen Brady Shea
